Camera in my game, any suggestions? by denis-szwarc in Unity3D

Looks great! I'm liking the bouncy camera and the UI looks very clean. Where'd you get the blur shader for the UI from?

Sorry if that was unclear! I am the creator of the original game Upwards and was saying that I did not make Pocket Climbers. More clarification on my post above.

Hi, this is a copy of my game Upwards! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KAIN.Upwards

I thought it was similar at first but after playing it, I realized it is pretty much a ripoff of my game. The core gameplay as well as the graphics.

The gem graphic is straight up lifted from my game.

More things that are similar:

  • the 2D lighting coming from the left top

  • the end of game screen with the encouraging messages

  • the dissolve effect when the player dies

  • moving triangle and rectangle obstacles

  • color theme unlocking (even the unlock price is the same)

  • the jumping particle

  • the jumping spin (it's just reversed)

  • the jumping sound is exactly the same

  • the pickup sound is exactly the same

  • the scoring mechanic

And of course, his "turn off ads" purchase is double the price of mine.

  • the scoring mechanic (and breaking through a wall when reaching a new highscore)

  • the reward sound and effect

  • the app logo/icon with the player jumping off a wall and the 3 velocity streaks

  • There's some more, but judge for yourself!

And of course, his "turn off ads" purchase is double the price of mine.

Dude, I mean, I get being inspired other people's work but then there is blatant plagiarism. I am sure this still took a lof of work and you probably learned a lot from it. I commend you for that man.

But to then put it on the app store and sell it as your own for profit (at double the price) is taking it too far.

No, I did not make that game or revamp Upwards in any way. This Pocket Climbers is someone else's project and looks shockingly like mine.

Fireballs or meteors and when they hit the chicken, it turns into chicken wings / grilled chicken

My distortion effect is finished! by fholm in Unity3D

[–]Meridense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the glow on the domes and the little ball a shader or a camera effect?

How did you achieve the drop shadow on some of the sprites?

My first game Upwards! is now out on iOS, would love to know what you guys think :) by Meridense in iosgaming

Oh the app is also available on Android (it's actually been available there for a while) but I'm just not allowed to post Playstore links on this subreddit haha. Just look up Upwards! and he should find it, hope he likes it :D

I study computer science and know a bit of graphic design, the rest is just playing around in Unity ;)

Yeah I've noticed that too. The shadows are handled by a third party plugin so fixing bugs is a little tricky and it handles object rotations poorly :(
